Large UPS (4.3kva+) battery question...
(OP)
Hi,
I have several large 4.3kva or bigger UPS systems installed at a location. Unfortunately my location (overseas) is making it very difficult to obtain the proper replacement batteries. I wanted to know if there is fundamentally anything different between a 12v 75AH "UPS Battery" or a sealed automotive battery of the same specs? I can not find the "UPS" batteries locally however I can find car batteries with similar specs. I've searched the web and can't seem to find an answer for this. Can a sealed car battery be used in a UPS system??
Thank you.

These tend not to be available as often in sealed versions. So you might need to begin a program of battery maintenance to top off the electrolyte.
